If the files exist in a folder, I can usually right-click, select
properties, then unclick the "read-only" box and it will ask me if I want
to apply the same attribute to every file in the folder.

I like Comparator. It is not as automatic as some sync tools, but it is
free and I trust it because it queries me.

I have also written simple batch files that transfer based on timestamp,
only moving newer files. Here is what I have. Use it at your own risk.

I guess something like Rsync would work.

My crappy batch file. Don't use it without backup up your work first.

cd c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop

Echo "copying from compact flash to HD"

xcopy /E /D /-Y e:\main thinker\main

Echo "Done"

Echo "copying Nvivo project from E: to c:\QSR Projects"

xcopy /E /D /-Y e:\qsr c:\qsr

echo "cheeseburger"

Echo "Done"
